Shovel Knight 'Essentially Complete,' Releasing Soon

Yacht Club Games still doesn't have a release date for Shovel Knight, its Kickstarted old-school platformer, but it says development is very nearly complete.

The game was delayed recently to the nebulous date of a few weeks after March 31 – its original release date. According to the game's latest update on its Kickstarter page, Yacht Clubs can see the finish line calling the game "essentially complete." One of the reasons the game was delayed was to ensure a simultaneous multiplatform release, which it says won't be a problem to pull off.

Might have to take my WiiU back for a little bit. My daughter has been using it for Hulu and Netflix. I really wish Xbox didn't put them behind a paywall. That would fix any annoyances that might occur. Plus it's purely greedy bulls@#t.

"Is very nearly complete."
What is with no release dates from Indies anymore? I'll admit I hate delays, but I think I dislike the "almost done" but with no release time-frame even more irritating.
It is like Minecraft Xbox One or the Xbox 360 edition's TU's. Oh it is "almost done." "Very close to completion." "It will be ready soon."
HOW CLOSE TO COMPLETION!? I NEED ANSWERS DANG IT!
